Like everyone else, I watched the President on Leno. Unlike everyone else, I’m willing to admit to it. But I figure why not? He’s the President. He plans to spend a lot of my money helping me improve my life so I enjoy any opportunity to listen to what he has to say, and if I watch while I have one hand resting on my wallet, well that’s an old habit and he’s not the first politician who has inclined me to do it.
The balloons and beach balls flew back and forth, which was no surprise. What was a surprise, although now I think I know why it shouldn’t have been, was when the President got a bit testy after Leno asked him about Treasury Secretary Geithner and went into his “I’m the man and the buck stops here” modality.
But once again, I realized why we have to be careful with President Obama. Smart guy that he is, he knew that all sorts of part-time pundits who probably have better things to do with their time would be going on about Leno, the President and the softball questions he would get. So even though there was no real reason for it, there is at least one sound bite with him being serious, determined and presidential.
All part of the act I guess.
